A very Meryl-y Christmas to all.. Hush Christmas continued

[Ellapaella]

New thread starts here Hush-ita's

@Porpoisefully which All Saints leather jacket do you have? I'm still wearing my trusty brown leather Mint Velvet jacket (EBay bargain £50) but might consider a new one.

The conroy in black twosoups1972. I got it last year at about this time. I’d been given vouchers for my birthday and the previous Christmas and it was in the sale. I’d been lusting after it for ages and thought it was the thing to bring my wardrobe together. I was actually right!

Morning everyone, it’s my birthday today🎂 am currently surrounded by McSnotFaces so no birthday lunch for me boo hoo.
Porpoise I lust after a navy biker jacket.

Happy birthday len. This thread is all the nicer for having you on it. xxx

Thank you Cherries & happy birthday to your DF as well.

Happy birthday lovely Len - wishing you all the best for your birthday. Hope you get to treat yourself xxx

Happy birthday melen It's lovely and sunny here today, hope you've got some sun too. Have a fab day

Lovely jacket porpoisefully I might have a look round in the sales for one. Has anyone seen around any styles of leather jacket other than biker? I don't want it too zippy.

Happy birthday @melen🎂🎂🎂🥂🥂🥂🍾🍾🍾🍷🍷🍷

Another haul from Boden but I’m unsure of this one. I love, love the necklace and it was half price. The sweatshirt I actually really like the colours but the print is abit quirky. However the quality is ten times better than any sweat I’ve bought from Hush so I may keep. The side stripe joggers? I just don’t know. They are so thick and comfy they aren’t for bed too hot. I imagine on a Winter morning going to work thryveould be perfect but I don’t know about that space pattern it’s abit child pajama like the box of socks is fabulous I would urge you to grab some if you are putting an order in, what shall I do re the bottoms? Should I have pattern in my life at 6am in Winter waiting for the bus?

Happy birthday Len !
Each I think I would need to see you in the joggers to judge as I think could look great but definitely wouldn’t on me ( might be my age !)

My Hush parcel has arrived to a raised eyebrow from DH.
I should now be preparing the guest room for PIL but DH has gone to the tip so I might just have to crack it open ...

I saw some nice things in Hush in John Lewis but it was all full price even things that had been reduced before.

The joggers are very straight not baggy things.

Does anyone want to enable me to keep BOTH pink jumpers?

@laska

Re old Hush favourites - definitely my burgundy Tara dress and dark green Felix dress. I also have a pair of wide leg navy pinstripe culottes, not sure what they're called but I bought them last summer I think. Love them.

This season from Hush I've ended up not keeping much, other than the earrings I posted about, I do love my grey 3D star jumper that I got when it was down to £55. I don't really need another jumper but it's so lovely and soft.

Other things - love my dark green velvet puffer from Whistles, Gap straight leg jeans, Amy jumper from Boden and *light pink/dark pink (delete as appropriate ) jumper from Jigsaw.

I’m happy to enable you @twosoups1972! I’ve the pink meryl and have been looking at other pink jumpers as I’ve discovered pink suits me! Go for it.

My new coated skinnies with new top from next. Benefit of these over the MV leggings is that they are more flattering on the bum, don’t show so many lumps and bumps so I don’t need to wear with bum covering tops.

They’re lovely @ellapaella

They both look brilliant @ella. Love the skinnies and the jumper.

Happy Birthday len!! Hope you've had a lovely day, in spite of being surrounded by snot.

I really like that boden sweatshirt each, (and the necklace). It is a lovely shade of blue. goes to look at the sweatshirts on the website Though DS would disown me...he hates anything to do with dogs..even pictures of them..I kind of agree with you about the joggers...not sure I would wear them far from home, though they are lovely and colourful, and I would definitely wear them on need-to-be-cheered-up home days. So if they are lovely and snuggly I may be tempted to keep them.

live I really want to see your things pleeeeeease . Esp. the leopard dress if you got it. Ignore your DH. Mine has been going on about the frankly ridiculous number of shoes I have, but MIL (arrived Thursday for Christmas) totally stuck up for me, explaining that we can't go through life with just one pair of shoes. She's a

Ella that's a great outfit. The jumper really works well with the jeans.

soups- I'll totally enable you with both jumpers! You seemed to really suit both colours ( I know the fuschia was more popular here, but you said your DD preferred the other, and they know how you look in real life!) And it looks like a versatile shape. You can never have too many jumpers .

Feliz Cumpleaños melen hope you’re been spoilt rotten today 🎁🎂🥂 and that the snots are not dampening the day (pun intended) too much

@soups Consider yourself enabled i did say I liked both pale and bright pink jumpers and to keep both Imagine the possibilities! Pale pink is a neutral and very stylish in a i waft around my manor not doing much kind of way and the fuschia is an injection of fun and energy when you’re feeling meh...both have a place in your life and wardrobe so there! (And it IS Xmas after all)

each like the necklace and quite tempted now you’ve reported it’s good. I have a Boden basket on the go with some Xmas bottoms I’m still mulling over but I guess I’m too late for those now. On the printed bottoms if they were bargainous and you like keep, I can’t make out from the pic enough to say yeah or nay

@ella you really suit skinny jeans! Every single time! Just lovely I like the grey top too but would like to see you in a non grey top soon

How was your latest haul @not?
I’ve got the ghost dress still to try on but we had a fridge mini disaster with our Smeg fridge (my precious! ) DS2 broke the catch on icebox door (accident) so luckily we were able to source a spare locally, DH fixed and replaced with new door. But then since we were there we decided to defrost and clean etc etc. Now all done and very clean and lovely and about to pop to Sainsbury’s for the first lot of Xmas food shopping. Not my favourite Sat eve gig but hey it must be done!

Thank you for the lovely birthday wishes, Dh is currently doing his dying swan act, dd is a bit better so that’s good.
Dgd ‘made’ me a little trinket heart, which she painted herself 💓
Ella the outfit is really good, are the jeans next as well?
Two I don’t think two pink jumpers is overload at all.
Live yy seeing your haul.
Not Mil sounds my kind of woman.
Each I think if the joggers are warm & snuggly they would be very useful.

@ella sorry! I meant this not this at the end of my sentence above!
I should preview before posting!

Forgot to add @porpoise love the Allsaints jacket! Just amazing!

Soy phew glad you got precious fridge sorted
Hope you like the ghost dress, it looked fab in the link.
Good luck with sainsburys, I went to M&S a little while ago it was busy but not manic.

@melen dying swan act! Yes I had one of those when DH caught the man flu a couple of weeks ago.

Hope despite the sniffles you are having the wonderful day you deserve, the trinket from Dgd sounds sweet

Thanks @melen yy love my pistachio green Smeg it’s my “precious” (I have the matching kettle and toaster too such a sucker for retro style!) that I was a bit OMG 😱 when DS broke the catch to the ice box door. Phew! Lucky we could find a genuine spare door locally to replace otherwise waiting for the spare delivery with all the food shopping pending would have been very annoying.

Yes I’ll try the ghost dress later. I like to savour these things not rush in between cleaning fridges and supermarket shopping.
I’ll report back tomorrow

Have a lovely evening
